IWeb site deletions

Recently updated to Leopard and the iLife '08.
Started first with some tinkering using iWeb, which is a new concept for me compared to the iLife that I was using ('04). I created and published 2-3 sites using iWeb with relative ease and was pleased with the results of my "testing".
These sites appeared on my .Mac in My Pages, but when I login to my .Mac account and click on the www button, I'm taken to the .Mac HomePage, and none of the "Sites" appear.
Can I only delete these "Sites" by going to my iDisk and deleting the folders?
I'm looking for a simpler method of maintaining these iWeb sites, including deleting them.

Your iWeb sites are in the Finder/Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites folder.
The URL to get to them is ...
http://web.mac.com/username/sitename/pagename.html

Iweb site deletion

Is there any way to restore a deleted iweb site, that was accidently deleted from iweb.
Jeff

Not unless you have a backup of the Domain.sites2 file found in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb.
If you have the published files you can launch them in the browser by double clicking the index.html file and retrieve a lot of the stuff using copy and paste. Open the media folder to grab the contents.

Hard drive reformatted. Need to delete iweb site. No backups available

Hard drive was reformatted and the iweb site material obviously lost. I would like to delete all the iweb pages i have posted using 'mobile me' as they do not show anything. Is this possible. I though it would be possible to delete the pages using 'mobile me' online.

Mount your iDisk and use the Finder to navigate the folder structure.
Delete the contents of the "Web" (no quotes) folder and all of your previously published pages will disappear.
Redo your pages in iWeb and Publish again to make new pages.

Deleting an iWeb site with movies

I have been using my iWeb site while abroad to send small movie clips etc home to the family, now I am home, I want to delete that content and start a new website altogether.
If I delete the local copies of the files does it update the site too? and where can I find the movies as I want to keep them but not on the site.
Thanks all
Geoff

When you initially put the movies into iWeb how did you do this? Did you create the movie page directly from iMovie or did you drag and drop the videos into iWeb?
When you use a movie in iWeb, iWeb places a copy of the movie in your Domain file. If you drag and drop from your "movies" folder into iWeb, that original file stays right in the movies folder. So, if you were bringing your media from other places (even if you use the Media inspector) into iWeb, deleting that content does NOT delete your originals.
If you deleted it after copying it to save space, now you've only got one copy IN your Domain file. In that case, you could control-click on your Domain file, choose "Show Package Contents" and then copy out the movie files before you delete the content in iWeb.
If you're not sure if you want to completely erase everything you've done, you can always save off your Domain file for future use. Once you've got it filed away, you can create a whole new site in iWeb knowing that anything that you forgot to make a copy of, you still have available.

Deleting iWeb Site in only one location?

I recently moved my iWeb site from one computer to another. It opens perfectly, can be edited, etc.
My question is... if I delete the site from the first computer, will it be permanently deleted from the Internet??

iWeb will ask you that. If you confirm, iWeb will delete the site on the server, if you answer No, nothing will happen.
To avoid that, change the settings to "publish to folder" (no need to actually choose a folder). Now you can safely delete the site in iWeb.

Deleting old iweb site

i have an old iweb site from 2006 that i need to bring down yet do not have the original domain file. Google webmaster denied request to make it unsearchable.
any ideas on how to do this?

Where are you hosting the site? If it's MobileMe just mount your iDisk, go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and drag the site folder to the trash bin in the Dock.
If it's a 3rd party hosting service, can you access the server with an FTP client like Transmit or the free Cyberduck which lets you access your directory/folder in a Finder like window? If so then just select the site folder and drag it to the trash.
If you can't access the server to delete files create a new site with iWeb, one that has the same site name and only one blank page, and publish that to the server.

Is there any way to delete a page listing on the top of the IWeb site. I created a page which has links to the other pages, so I don't need all of them listed on top...

Better ask in the iWeb forum.
Answer : inspector > first icon from the left > uncheck 'Display navigation menu'
For future reference, also look at the other icons.

Iweb - does creating a new site delete the previous site?

I'm having a meltdown. Had my career website built via iweb some time ago, and tonight, was experimenting with iweb for a new website for another unrelated project. So I created a "new site," never suspecting that it would affect my previous website.
I wanted to see how the new site looked, so I published, and now my career website seems to have disappeared! Spent weeks building that site! (photos, films, etc.) Does iweb only allow for one website? It had a (slightly) different address when the new site published. But now my career domain name goes to the new unrelated website. The new site was a lark -- REALLY need my career website back up and running. Any way to find/retrieve it?
Is there no warning? -- if you go create a "new site" and go to publish, and the new site DOES replace the old, is there really no warning???

How do I get it back (as my iweb site and linked to my career domain site?)
Try publishing all the pages of your "career" site by clicking on its name in iWeb's left sidebar and choosing File > Publish Entire Site.
See also this article:
http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebMultiplewebsites.html
...it says: +"When you will publish and upload to the same account entering your url in a browser you will be redirected to the site for which you hit “Publish entire site” last."+

It will still be accessible at:
http://web.me.com/[YourMemberName]/[NewWebsiteName]

How can I transfer JUST ONE IWeb site to another computer?

I am new to making IWeb sites and am now making them for
other people. I have about 10 sites in my IWeb folder and need to
be able to give a person's site to them.
I need to be able to transfer JUST ONE site to another computer.
Right now, I am only able to transfer ALL the sites I have made to
another mac and then, it wipes out all their sites! How can I prevent
the ultimate wipe out of all their iweb sites yet give them JUST ONE
of mine?
thank you in advance,
Beth http://www.yourzensite.com

First, read Wyodor's post about changing the publishing settings HERE.
You can create the extra folders in Home Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb or, as I do, in a folder named iWeb in the Home folder.
Create a folder for each website, give it a suitable name and paste the Domain.sites2 file with all the websites into each.
Open each one in turn, double click the Domain.sites2 file to launch it in iWeb, delete all the sites except the one whose name is the same as the folder name, save and quit.
Now you can launch any site individually in iWeb and sent a copy of the appropriate folder to the client.

How do I fix an error "4652747.png" when publishing my iWeb site to iMac?

Every time I try to publish my iWeb site to .Mac I get an error message that says there's an error in " ...files/ca4652747.png." I know this is an image file, but when i search for it on my hard drive it shows a blank image. I've tried deleting the file from the hard drive but when I re-publish, a second file "c00ff001c.png" on a different web page shows the same error. I can't figure out how to fix these errors. It publishes to a folder, or so it says, but i don't know how to check that. I am supposed to publish the entire site at the end of this week and have all the work done but can't get past this point. Can anyone help me? I'm a new mac user and this is my first shot at web design, so I've probably missed something obvious, but would appreciate any help.

k, try this:
backup your domain file! delete the one in the folder BUT HAVE A COPY OF IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. Then open iWeb, create something save it and publish it!
now go to your backuped file,make one more backup!!!!
move one of the backuped files into the Users/username/bblablabla folder and open iWeb. try publish all and see if it works!

Merge iweb sites from multiple user accounts on same computer

With the previous iweb version, my children created their own iweb sites on their own users, but all under my own .mac account. It worked great.
But now with the new "upgraded" iweb '08, that isn't allowed anymore.
So, I created a new user on our computer for all of us to use to maintain our multiple iweb accounts on.
How can I move multiple iweb sites from multiple users on the same computer into one user?

Each of the user's work in iWeb will be contained in a single file, Domain.sites2, which can be found in this location on the hard drive for each user account. You will need to copy all of these Domain.sites2 files to an external drive, or, at the very least, burn them to a disk to make them transferable from one user account to another. A flash drive also works great for this.
Once you have made all of these Domain files accessible from the new user account that you created, you will still have a formidable task ahead of you, i.e., publishing separate sites, from separate Domain.sites2 files, to the same .Mac account/directory. In other words, bringing all of these Domain files together for access by a single user account will not solve the problem. You may very well be able to solve the problem with things the way they are, but it will involve some shuffling of Site's files on the iDisk prior to publishing.
The method I'm going to give you has worked well for me. So far, here in the forums, I've read posts from (2) other users who were also successful. Conversely, I know of at least (3) other users who have been unsuccessful with this approach. I sure hope it works for you.
Open System Preferences and go to .Mac. Turn syncing off, if it is on, and leave it off.
Now, in Finder, navigate to the current Site files on your iDisk, following this path:
Go/iDisk/My iDisk/Web/Sites/NameOfSiteFolder
Drag the Site folder that is named for your site, (not the directory Site folder), back one level on the iDisk, into the Web folder. This is where some run into difficulties--you may get an error message that the folder is "in use, and cannot be moved". I have never gotten this message, and am able to move my Site's folders around with no problem on the iDisk.
If you are successful moving the folder, choose one of your other accounts on your machine, launch iWeb, and Publish all to .Mac. The existing site on the server will not be deleted. Now, go back to the iDisk and move that site folder, (the one you just published), back one level, again, to the root Web directory. Publish your next site, from your next account.
When you are finished publishing sites, just move the Site folders back to their original location on the iDisk--Web/Sites/SiteFoldersHere. All sites will be accessible from a browser using the web.mac.com/username/nameofsite url.
It is important to use the Publish all to .Mac command in iWeb. A simple Publish to .Mac command will not put the correct index.html file in place on the server.
Post back and inform us of your success.

Can I Set Up a 2nd iWeb Site?

Hi,
I was wondering if you are able to set up a 2nd iWeb Site. My Daughter has a site but I'd like to set one up too for myself. Any help would be great!
Thanks in Advance,
XMTitan

Hi,
if you and your daughter have different accounts on the computer there is no problem in having two sites. Your site will show up on iWeb in your user account and her site will show up on iWeb in her user account. If you want to make a site which is independent from your daughter's site and don't have different user accounts on your computer you just have to have two different Domain files (where iWeb stores its files User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 ).
If you don't want to have a completely independent site and don't have different user accounts on your computer open iWeb go to File=>New Site
Site=>Index where people choose which site they want to visit your daughter's or yours
Site1=>Your daughter's
Site2=>Yours
you then can publish to the same .Mac account or host.
The only problem that could happen is with publishing two independent sites to the same .Mac account. One site will overwrite (thus delete) the other. That problem is not happening with using two different .Mac accounts or by publishing to two different hosts.
Regards,
Cédric

IWeb site blank in IE, but perfect in Chrome, Firefox, Safari

Hello all,
I'm sorry, I know this question comes up again and again, but what I have read and attempted doesn't seem to help my website. I just started using iWeb last week and I really enjoy it. I was using Dreamweaver before which is a great program for CSS and HTML editing, but really doesn't compare to the simplicity and speed of designing with a WYSIWYG like iWeb.
So are there a few big culprits as to why iWeb sites don't display in IE 6,7, or 8? I realize this is pretty much an Internet Explorer problem, but can I fix at least some of the content without doing a ton of hacking to my site?
I am already fixing one issue using Dreamweaver:
iWeb: +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
instead of: +<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">+
...so I'm not afraid to publish with iWeb, then edit a few things in the HTML/CSS. Can anything be done? It's a fairly simple website: mantheipc.webege.com (ignore text content, needs a lot of revision).
*Other info:*
Free hosting via 000webhost.com
iWeb '08 2.0.4
OS X 10.5.7
Dreamweaver CS5
Uploading via FileZilla
Tested to work under Firefox, Chrome, and Safari (Mac+PC)
Tested and failed to load in IE 6,7,8 at http://ipinfo.info/netrenderer/
Tested and failed to load in IE 6 on XP Laptop
Thanks a lot for your time,
Dylan

Removing the first line of every HTML document permits the site to load in IE.
<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
To figure out why IE wouldn't display my site, I created a new blank page and added an image, a hyperlink, a text box, and a fancy CSS text box. I also set a background gradient and page color. The page wouldn't display in IE, so I started deleting HTML by hand with a text editor starting with the most likely culprits (in-line CSS, javascript, etc). I was down to an image, hyperlink, bgcolor, and center tags and the site still wouldn't load. Realizing these are the most basic html tags there are, the only thing left that could cause a problem was that first line.
While I realize this is not at all an ideal solution, it worked. Not only does the site load, but it looks about as good as it does in Firefox and Chrome. No transparency issues or anything! The first line isn't vital to site display, but it does cause the browser to 'guess' what type of encoding the page is in. All of my testing indicated this isn't an issue on my PC or Mac, but I need to try friends and family's PC's too.
Tested good on:
IE8, Firefox, and Chrome in Windows 7
Firefox, Chrome, and Safari in MacOS Leopard
Thanks again to everyone who read and contributed!

Rebuilding Photo Pages from Lost iWeb Site

I mistakenly deleted my backed up iWeb domain file after doing a fresh install of OSX. I know there is no way to import the published HTML files into iWeb, so I am in the process of making a copy of my website manually. I am looking for a way to rebuild my photo pages that doesn't require me to look at the published site, identify which photo is on the site, find it in iPhoto, and drag it to my new iWeb site. Instead, what I'd like to do is grab the photo files from iDisk for each photo page, and then drop them into my new iWeb site. However, I can't seem to find on my iDisk where the actual photo files are stored. I suspect I am looking in the wrong place. The files in the iDisk/Web/Sites/Site Name/My Albums/Pages/Album Name/Media/Photo Name are too small and low quality. When I click the download link from the published site, it's the full size file. Where is this stored?

How do I remove old web site when publishing new site with same URL in iweb? Hit replace when publishing new iweb site (so we could have control over changes) but new site name is attached to old via a / after our www address we want to keep.

I hit the replace when publishing the new iweb site (so we could have control over changes - last one was not an apple based site) but new site name is attached to old via a forward slash and underscore after our www address. Makes it very messy with a very long web address. Original address now followed by iweb site name followed by name of first page? Went for iweb as not that computer literate - all going so well?! Cheers for help in anticipation. Have to get off to work now but be great end to week if we could be sorted tonight. Rupes

Well yes of course, if you try and publish through iWeb there won't be an option to publish without your site folder which is exactly why I told you to download Cyberduck and use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server having published your site from iWeb to a local folder. That is what you need to do if you don't want your site name to be included in yoru url.
It would have been easier also if you had used Cyberduck initially to connect to your server and delete your old site yourself - at least that way you would have deleted the correct files rather than relying on your hosting service to do it and doing it incorrectly.
Download Cyberduck and then select the publish to a local folder option from iWeb and then use Cyberduck to upload your site to your server, but rather than uploading the whole site folder and separate index file, upload ONLY the contents of your site folder and then your url will be http://www.domain.com/page_name.html.
It really isn't rocket science!
